These libraries do not support TLS 1.3 and have been marked for removal
for over a year. We want to help users select a TLS dependency that is
future-proof and reliable, and not supporting TLS 1.3 in 2025 does not
infer confidence. Users who build libcurl are likely to be served better
and get something more future-proof with a TLS library that supports
1.3.

Since they are mostly independent, using them as bitfelds makes the code
easier.

Closes#17431
The `struct Curl_dns_entry *` used to established a connection
do not have the connection's lifetime, but the transfer's lifetime
(of the transfer that initiates the connect).
`Curl_dns_entry *` is reference counted with the "dns cache". That
cache might be owned by the multi or the transfer's share. In the
share, the reference count needs updating under lock.
Therefore, the dns entry can only be kept *and* released using the
same transfer it was initially looked up from. But a connection is
often discarded using another transfer.
So far, the problem of this has been avoided in clearing the connection's
dns entries in the "multi_don()" handling. So, connections had NULL
dns entries after the initial transfers and its connect had been handled.
Keeping the dns entries in data->state seems therefore a better choice.
Also: remove the `struct Curl_dns_entry *` from the connect filters
contexts. Use `data->state.dns` every time instead and fail correctly
when not present and needed.
Closes#17383
Move curlx_ functions into its own subdir.
The idea is to use the curlx_ prefix proper on these functions, and use
these same function names both in tool, lib and test suite source code.
Stop the previous special #define setup for curlx_ names.
The printf defines are now done for the library alone. Tests no longer
use the printf defines. The tool code sets its own defines. The printf
functions are not curlx, they are publicly available.
The strcase defines are not curlx_ functions and should not be used by
tool or server code.
dynbuf, warnless, base64, strparse, timeval, timediff are now proper
curlx functions.
When libcurl is built statically, the functions from the library can be
used as-is. The key is then that the functions must work as-is, without
having to be recompiled for use in tool/tests. This avoids symbol
collisions - when libcurl is built statically, we use those functions
directly when building the tool/tests. When libcurl is shared, we
build/link them separately for the tool/tests.

Calls to `Curl_init_do()` did not check on result and missed failures to
properly and completely initialize a transfer request.
The main cause of such an init failure is the need to rewind the
READFUNCTION without a SEEKFUNCTION registered. Check the failure to
"rewind" the upload data immediately make test cases 1576 and friends

Change multi's book keeping of transfers to no longer use lists, but a
special table and bitsets for unsigned int values.
`multi-xfers` is the `uint_tbl` where `multi_add_handle()` inserts a new
transfer which assigns it a unique identifier `mid`. Use bitsets to keep
track of transfers that are in state "process" or "pending" or
"msgsent".
Use sparse bitsets to replace `conn->easyq` and event handlings tracking
of transfers per socket. Instead of pointers, keep the mids involved.
Provide base data structures and document them in docs/internal:
* `uint_tbl`: a table of transfers with `mid` as lookup key,
handing out a mid for adds between 0 - capacity.
* `uint_bset`: a bitset keeping unsigned ints from 0 - capacity.
* `uint_spbset`: a sparse bitset for keeping a small number of
unsigned int values
* `uint_hash`: for associating `mid`s with a pointer.
This makes the `mid` the recommended way to refer to transfers inside
the same multi without risk of running into a UAF.
Modifying table and bitsets is safe while iterating over them. Overall
memory requirements are lower as with the double linked list apprach.
Closes#16761
Adds a "meta_hash" to each easy handle for keeping special data during
operations. All meta data set needs to add its destructor callback, so
that meta data gets destroyed properly when the easy handle is cleaned
up or reset.
Add data->master_mid for "sub" transfers that belong to a "master" easy
handle. When a "sub" transfer is done, the corresponding "master" can
add a callback to be invoked. Used in DoH name resolution.
DoH: use easy meta hash to add internal structs for DoH name resolution.
One in each in each probe easy handle. When probes are done, response
data is copied from the probe to the initiating easy.
This allows DoH using transfers and their probes to be cleaned up in any
sequence correctly.
Fold DoH cleanup into the Curl_async_shutdown() and Curl_async_destroy()
functions.
Closes#16384
"asyn" is the internal name under which both c-ares and threaded
resolver operate. Make the naming more consistent. Implement the c-ares
resolver in `asyn-ares.*` and the threaded resolver in `asyn-thrdd.*`.
The common functions are in `asyn-base.c`.
When `CURLRES_ASYNCH` is defined, either of the two is used and
`data->state.async` exists. Members of that struct vary for the selected
implementation, but have the fields `hostname`, `port` and `ip_version`
always present. This are populated when the async resolving starts and
eliminate the need to pass them again when checking on the status and
processing the results of the resolving.
Add a `Curl_resolv_blocking()` to `hostip.h` that relieves FTP and SOCKS
from having to repeat the same code.
`Curl_resolv_check()` remains the function to check for status of
ongoing resolving. Now it also performs internally the check if the
needed DNS entry exists in the dnscache and if so, aborts the asnyc
operation. (libcurl right now does not check for duplicate resolve
attempts. an area for future improvements).
The number of functions in `asyn.h` has been reduced. There were subtle
difference in "cancel()" and "kill()" calls, both replaced by
`Curl_async_shutdown()` now. This changes behaviour for threaded
resolver insofar as the resolving thread is now always joined unless
`data->set.quick_exit` is set. Before this was only done on some code
paths. A future improvement would be a thread pool that keeps a limit
and also could handle joins more gracefully.
DoH, not previously tagged under "asny", has its struct `doh_probes` now
also in `data->state.async`, moved there from `data->req` because it
makes more sense. Further integration of DoH underneath the "asyn"
umbrella seems like a good idea.
Closes#16963
Without this patch, the handling of the alt-svc header added via
279a4772ae in curl-8.13.0 attempts to
connect to alternative services via different HTTP versions, even if the
target HTTP version is not supported by curl (i.e., not enabled at
compile-time). If I understand the code and RFC 7838 correctly, then we
should only attempt to migrate to supported protocols. Therefore,
`allowed_apns` should only contain such protocols, and we need to guard
its modification with `ifdefs` for supported HTTP versions.
This was discovered in a downstream bug report in Alpine Linux [1] where
it was reported that a Matrix client (using libcurl) was defunct after
the upgrade to curl-8.13.0. Further debugging revealed that this was due
to the Matrix server sending a `alt-svc: h3=":443";` HTTP header,
causing curl to attempt migration to HTTP3 even though Alpine's curl
version is compiled without HTTP3 support.
I am not sure if this is the best place in the code to address this
or if the `allowed` bitmask shouldn't contain unsupported versions
in the first place. However, since there are existing `ifdefs` in
this function for source (not destination) ALP selection, it may
be a good fit to address this here.

The issues found fell into these categories, with the applied fixes:
- const was accidentally stripped.
Adjust code to not cast or cast with const.
- const/volatile missing from arguments, local variables.
Constify arguments or variables, adjust/delete casts. Small code
changes in a few places.
- const must be stripped because an API dependency requires it.
Strip `const` with `CURL_UNCONST()` macro to silence the warning out
of our control. These happen at API boundaries. Sometimes they depend
on dependency version, which this patch handles as necessary. Also
enable const support for the zlib API, using `ZLIB_CONST`. Supported
by zlib 1.2.5.2 and newer.
- const must be stripped because a curl API requires it.
Strip `const` with `CURL_UNCONST()` macro to silence the warning out
of our immediate control. For example we promise to send a non-const
argument to a callback, though the data is const internally.
- other cases where we may avoid const stripping by code changes.
Also silenced with `CURL_UNCONST()`.
- there are 3 places where `CURL_UNCONST()` is cast again to const.
To silence this type of warning:
```
lib/vquic/curl_osslq.c:1015:29: error: to be safe all intermediate
pointers in cast from 'unsigned char **' to 'const unsigned char **'
must be 'const' qualified [-Werror=cast-qual]
lib/cf-socket.c:734:32: error: to be safe all intermediate pointers in
cast from 'char **' to 'const char **' must be 'const' qualified
[-Werror=cast-qual]
```
There may be a better solution, but I couldn't find it.
These cases are handled in separate subcommits, but without further
markup.
If you see a `-Wcast-qual` warning in curl, we appreciate your report
about it.
Closes#16142
For the case when the connection struct is all setup, the protocol
handler allocates data in its setup_connection function, but the
connection struct is discarded again before used further because a
connection reuse is prefered. Then the handler's disconnect function was
not previously called, which then would lead to a memory leak.
I added test case 698 that reproduces the leak and the fix.

Closes#16604
Further testing with timeouts in event based processing revealed that
our current shutdown handling in the connection pool was not clear
enough. Graceful shutdowns can only happen inside a multi handle and it
was confusing to track in the code which situation actually applies. It
seems better to split the shutdown handling off and have that code
always be part of a multi handle.
Add `cshutdn.[ch]` with its own struct to maintain connections being
shut down. A `cshutdn` always belongs to a multi handle and uses that
for socket/timeout monitoring.
The `cpool`, which can be part of a multi or share, either passes
connections to a `cshutdn` or terminates them with a one-time, best
effort.
Add an `admin` easy handle to each multi and share. This is used to
perform all maintenance operations where no "real" easy handle is
available. This solves the problem that the multi admin handle requires
some additional initialisation (e.g. timeout list).
The share needs its admin handle as it is often cleaned up when no other
transfer or multi handle exists any more. But we need a `data` in almost
every call.
Fix file:// handling of errors when adding a new connection to the pool.
Changes in `curl` itself:
- for parallel transfers, do not set a connection pool in the share,
rely on the multi's connection pool instead. While not a requirement
for the new `cshutdn` to work, this is
a) helpful in testing to trigger graceful shutdowns
b) a broader code coverage of libcurl via the curl tool
- on test_event with uv, cleanup the multi handle before returning from
parallel_event(). The uv struct is on the stack, cleanup of the multi
later will crash when it tries to register sockets. This is a "eat
your own dogfood" related fix.
Closes#16508
In curl 8.12 I tried to improve the logic on how we handle connections
that "upgrade" to TLS later, e.g. with a STARTTLS. I found the existing
code hard to read in this regard. But of course, the "improvements" blew
up in my face.
We fixed issues with imap, opo3, smtp in 8.12.1, but ftp was no longer
reusing existing, upgraded control connections as before. This PR adds
checks in our pytest FTP tests that verify reuse is happening as
intended.
I rewrote the logic in url.c again, so that the new test checks now pass.

Add a 'wanted' major HTTP version bitmask next to the 'allowed' bitmask
in HTTP version negotiation. This will try connections as specified in
'wanted', but enabled Alt-Svc and HTTPS-RR to redirect to other major
HTTP versions, if those are 'allowed'.
Changes libcurl internal default to `CURL_HTTP_VERSION_NONE` and removes
the code in curl that sets `CURL_HTTP_VERSION_2TLS` if the command line
does not say anything else.
Closes#16117
Translate the `data->set.httpwant` which is one of the consts from the
public API (CURL_HTTP_VERSION_*) into a major version mask plus
additional flags for internal handling.
`Curl_http_neg_init()` does the translation and flags setting in http.c,
using new internal consts CURL_HTTP_V1x, CURL_HTTP_V2x and CURL_HTTP_V3x
for the major versions. The flags are
- only_10: when the application explicity asked fro HTTP/1.0
- h2_upgrade: when the application asks for upgrading 1.1 to 2.
- h2_prior_knowledge: when directly talking h2 without ALPN
- accept_09: when a HTTP/0.9 response is acceptable.
The Alt-Svc and HTTPS RR redirections from one ALPN to another obey the
allowed major versions. If a transfer has only h3 enabled, Alt-Svc
redirection to h2 is ignored.
This is the current implementation. It can be debated if Alt-Svc should
be able to override the allowed major versions. Added test_12_06 to
verify the current restriction.

The variable `conn->httpversion` was used for several purposes and it
was unclear at which time the value represents what.
- rename `conn->httpversion` to `conn->httpversion_seen`
This makes clear that the variable only records the last
HTTP version seen on the connection - if any. And that it
no longer is an indication of what version to use.
- Change Alt-Svc handling to no longer modify `conn->httpversion`
but set `data->state.httpwant` for influencing the HTTP version
to use on a transfer.
- Add `data->req.httpversion_sent` to have a record of what
HTTP version was sent in a request
- Add connection filter type CF_TYPE_HTTP
- Add filter query `CF_QUERY_HTTP_VERSION` to ask what HTTP
filter version is in place
- Lookup filters HTTP version instead of using `conn->httpversion`
Test test_12_05 now switches to HTTP/1.1 correctly and the
expectations have been fixed.
